Chapter 1917 “Nangong Zhun’s Will (3)”

Bai Yan took out a few bottles from the storage ring and wanted to stuff them into Nangong Zhun’s hand. Yet, instead of accepting the gift, the lad quickly withdrew his hand and placed it behind himself.

“Shifu, I want to rely on my own strength to find you, I don’t want your elixirs to enhance my own power. If I do, would that still be me?” Nangong Zhun’s eyes became more and more determined: “Moreover, I believe in myself, and one day, I will catch up with you with my own efforts.”

Between her astonished eyebrows, Bai Yan didn’t miss the dazzling stars in the lad’s gaze. It’s powerful and strong without any hint of deception or weakness.

After a long time, she puts away the bottles and laughed: “Alright, I will wait for you to come to me using your own ability. I also believe in you. With your talent, I know it won’t take long. However, I will still teach you about alchemy and the experiences I gained during my own cultivation. Come back tomorrow and I will have the materials ready.”

In fact, the book she planned to give the young king had been prepared before. She’s only missing a few pages to complete the content. A extra day would allow her to finish it.

This time, Nangong Zhun did not refuse and formed a shallow smile of joy. “Thank you Shifu.”

Bai Yan’s eyes nearly fell into a trance at that familiar manner of speaking. It reminded this demon queen too much of herself during times of hardship.

“Mother, Mother!” It’s then during her trance, a milky voice cuts in, followed closely by the sound of staggering steps rushing into her arms.

Bai Xiachen had been following closely behind the baby milk bun with worry in his eyes. The boy’s afraid of his little sister accidentally falling.

“Ling Yan, this is your Granny Dowager,” Bai Yan places her daughter down after a brief hug, “and this young boy is also your big brother.”

“Hello Granny Dowager.” The little girl’s smile was sweet, and her voice were soft and sticky like a rice dumpling.

In particular were those two dimples on the cheek. It’s like there’s sweet wine in there, which warms the heart of those on the receiving end.

“Such a beautiful little girl, is she your daughter?” The dowager showed a completely surprised face.

She had seen many little girls of this age, but none of them were as delicate and lovely as Di Ling Yan was. Her face was red and fluttering with sheen in those watery eyes. One only needs a glance to know she’s clever and naughty.

Such a little girl is really likable.

“Big Brother.” Di Ling Yan turns to Nangong Zhun and spoke with her crisp cuddly voice, “Hug….”

She opened her arms and looked like she wanted to hug.

Nangong Zun’s heart was about to melt under that adorableness. Without forethought, his body moved as requested and attempts to lift that baby. However, right as he did so, Bai Xiachen also moved and promptly pulled his little sister to one side behind himself.

“Ling Yan, how can you ask other boys for hugs?”

Confused as she blinked those eyes, the pipsqueak tilts her head: “But isn’t he my big brother too? Why can’t I have hugs?”

She pouted as if she didn’t understand why her big brother would be unhappy.

“Boss,” Nangong Zhun’s immediately formed a smile with those clean eyes, “it’s been so long….”

That only made the pipsqueak even more confused. In her view, the new brother was clearly bigger than her big brother so it didn’t make sense to use the word “boss”.
